Meghan Markle up against Trump, Putin and journalist Khashoggi for TIME's person of the year

TIME has narrowed its list of finalists for the magazine's 2018 Person of the Year to 10, Daily Mail reports.

The year's shortlist, which was released Monday, includes Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex, after she married Prince Harry in May.

The American actress caught the attention of the world after finding her way into British royalty and is now due with Harry's first child. She has some stiff competition for the cover.

President Donald Trump, who made the cover in 2016 after shocking the world with his win has made the list yet again, as has the man who has already rocked his presidency- special counsel Robert Mueller.

Mueller's probe has yielded cooperation in the form of plea deals from various Trump campaign aides, consultants and advisers.

In 2017 Trump said he was 'offered' the cover again, and declined it. Something TIME said was untrue.

Russian President Vladimir Putin made the list, which fits with Trump and Mueller being listed considering the Russian collusion probe Mueller has been working tirelessly on.

Putin was featured on the 2007 cover for his leadership of Russia, however this year his presence on the cover would most certainly be in part in light of his government's alleged attempts at interfering with the U.S. presidential election.

Separated migrant families also landed on the list after America was confronted with the faces of sobbing children being torn apart from distressed parents on television news and newspapers across the country.

At the height of the issue, more than 2,500 children were removed from their parents who had been caught illegally crossing the US- Mexico border.

Jamal Khashoggi, the Saudi journalist who was killed in his country's consulate in Turkey, has made the list as speculation continues on if his murder was orchestrated by Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman.

It was the first time that a North Korean leader had stepped into South Korea since the end of the war between the two nations. The two leaders have since met at two other summits, looking to establish peace on the Korean peninsula.
